About the company

ACE Electronics Defense Systems, LLC, a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, manufactures electronic components, cable assemblies, and interconnect products for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 96% of its recent awards and as a subcontractor on programs led by General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Science Applications International Corporation, and Asrc Federal Advanced Research. The company, headquartered in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, operates across primary NAICS categories of Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (334419) and Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (335931), delivering products under PSC codes focused on cable and cord assemblies, electrical power distribution equipment, connectors, and hardware.

ACE Electronics' customer concentration centers heavily on the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Navy. The top five funding agencies account for 87% of recent award volume: DLA Aviation leads with 957 awards worth $80.4 million in combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime with 319 awards and $827.7 million, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment with 103 awards and $6.7 million, Army Communications Electronics Command with 66 awards and $72.1 million, and Army Program Executive Office Command Control Communications-Tactical with 63 awards and $532.7 million. However, the potential-value rankings diverge sharply: Naval Sea Systems Command (31 awards) anchors $4.15 billion in combined potential value—nearly 63% of the vendor's total portfolio—reflecting the $4 billion SeaPort-NXG indefinite delivery contract awarded through January 2029. Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal contributes $916.9 million across 12 awards. This concentration on two mega-contracts (SeaPort-NXG and multiple DLA vehicles) poses recompete exposure: 37 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $24.6 million.

ACE Electronics holds a multi-year vehicle portfolio anchored by the SeaPort-NXG contract with Naval Sea Systems Command. Recent prime IDIQs include the Interconnection Equipment Contract (163 task orders, $77.7 million combined potential value), multiple Defense Logistics Agency single-award indefinite delivery contracts for cable assemblies and mounting brackets with $350,000 to $2 million ceilings (awarded in January through April 2026), a $1.15 million DLA Aviation IDIQ for cable assemblies set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (awarded January 22, 2026), and a $151 billion Missile Defense Agency Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded December 29, 2025. DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime together account for the majority of task order activity across smaller vehicles, positioning ACE as a recurring supplier of commodity electronic components and assemblies to defense logistics operations.

Recent capability work demonstrates sustained volume across cable assembly, power supply, and hardware manufacturing. Representative prime awards include a $3.89 million delivery order from Army Communications Electronics Command (December 22, 2025) for interconnection and control equipment, a $2.24 million delivery order from Army Communications Electronics Command for electronic components under the Interconnection Equipment Contract (August 4, 2025), a $532.6 million definitive contract from Naval Sea Systems Command for MK77 housing connector plates and anodes (January 29, 2026), a $989.97 thousand delivery order from Army PEO C3T for spare log adapter cables (August 20, 2025), and a $640.9 thousand delivery order from Army Communications Electronics Command for electronic installation kits (October 29, 2025). Activity has remained relatively stable across the past five years at 208–268 awards annually, with 49 awards recorded through May 2026.

ACE Electronics operates predominantly in full-and-open competition on its prime portfolio, with recurring participation in total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides. Across the top five customer agencies, the vendor competes under both set-aside and non-set-aside designations, reflecting its posture as a qualified supplier for both restricted and unrestricted procurement vehicles. Its dual small business certifications (veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned, both expiring July 21, 2028) anchor most competitive advantages; recent DLA and Army awards frequently cite the small business set-aside designation.

In its subcontractor role, ACE Electronics delivers cable assemblies, cable fabrication, wire harnesses, and custom build-to-print assemblies to Science Applications International Corporation on Modern Vehicle Fielding integration and fielding support, MADIS FY25–27 fielding readiness program support, and other Army modernization initiatives (awards from October 21, 2025, through November 19, 2025). General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman represent additional prime relationships, with General Dynamics involving Abrams tank production upgrade work (May 20, 2026) and Northrop Grumman covering tactical unit electronics (February 20, 2026, multiple orders). Asrc Federal Advanced Research engaged ACE for Mounted Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing System components (January 6, 2026).

The combined potential value of $6.6 billion masks uneven cash flow: only $406.7 million (6%) has been obligated across all awards, indicating substantial ceiling headroom on DLA and Naval Sea Systems Command vehicle contracts awaiting task orders. The vendor operates with established manufacturing footprints at Aberdeen Proving Ground (primary facility and administrative center) and secondary facilities in Metuchen, New Jersey, Gardena, California, Troy, Michigan, Marion, Illinois, Plano, Texas, and West Allis, Wisconsin—reflecting geographic distribution aligned with customer logistics hubs and prime contractor locations. The recent award rate of 49 contracts through May 2026 (one month, three weeks into the current year) suggests sustained near-term pipeline, though the magnitude is lower than prior years' runs.
